Abstract

Texture evolution during room-temperature tensile testing of recrystallized equimolar CrCoNi was studied using electron backscatter diffraction and electron channeling contrast imaging on specimens from interrupted tests. Dominant deformation mechanisms included slip at low strains and deformation twinning at larger strains, which were accompanied by the development of a strong <111> texture parallel to the tensile axis. Highly deformed material also contained nanotwin/hcp lamellae, which have previously been hypothesized to act as potent barriers for non-coplanar dislocations. To examine this hypothesis, mean-field modeling was performed using the viscoplastic self-consistent framework with varying ratios for hardening by slip and twinning. In the optimal model, twinning produced approximately three times as much non-coplanar hardening as slip, which is larger than previous observations in other twinning-induced plasticity materials that do not form twin/hcp lamellae. Additional full-field elasto-viscoplastic simulations were performed using the fast Fourier transform (EVP-FFT) method to examine intragranular rotation and the effect of initial grain orientation on the deformation mode. Grains with initial orientations near <111> had the greatest propensity for deformation twinning while grains near <100> were more likely to deform by slip even at large strains. In conclusion, excellent quantitative agreement was obtained between the experiments and EVP-FFT model.

A new micromechanics based full field numerical framework to simulate the effects of dynamic recrystallization on the formability of HCP metals

Journal Article Nagra, Jaspreet S. ; Brahme, Abhijit ; Levesque, Julie ; ... - International Journal of Plasticity

This work presents a new full-field, efficient and mesh-free numerical framework to model microstructure evolution, dynamic recrystallization (DRX) and formability in hexagonal closed-packed (HCP) metals such as magnesium alloys at warm temperatures. A rate tangent-fast Fourier transform-based elasto-viscoplastic crystal plasticity constitutive model for HCP metals (RTCP-FFT-HCP) is coupled with a probabilistic cellular automata (CA) approach to model DRX (CA-DRX). Furthermore, this new model is coupled with the Marciniak-Kuczynski (M-K) approach to model formability of magnesium alloys at elevated temperatures. The RTCP-FFT-HCP model computes macro stress-strain, twinning volume fraction, micromechanical fields, texture evolution and local dislocation density. Nucleation of new grainsmore »« less

Micromechanical Fields Associated with Irregular Deformation Twins in Magnesium

Journal Article Leu, Brandon ; Mariyappan, Arul Kumar ; Rottmann, Paul F. ; ... - Journal of Materials Engineering and Performance

Understanding and controlling the development of deformation twins is paramount for engineering strong and stable hexagonal close-packed (HCP) Mg alloys. Actual twins are often irregular in boundary morphology and twin crystallography, deviating from the classical picture commonly used in theory and simulation. In this work, the elastic strains and stresses around irregular twins are examined both experimentally and computationally to gain insight into how twins develop and the microstructural features that influence their development. A nanoprecession electron diffraction (N-PED) technique is used to measure the elastic strains within and around amore »« less

The evolution of the deformation substructure in a Ni-Co-Cr equiatomic solid solution alloy

Journal Article Miao, Jiashi ; Slone, C. E. ; Smith, T. M. ; ... - Acta Materialia

The equiatomic NiCoCr alloy exhibits an excellent combination of strength and ductility, even greater than the FeNiCrCoMn high entropy alloy, and also displays a simultaneous increase in strength and ductility with decreasing the testing temperature. To systemically investigate the origin of the exceptional properties of NiCoCr alloy, which are related to the evolution of the deformation substructure with strain, interrupted tensile testing was conducted on the equiatomic NiCoCr single-phase solid solution alloy at both cryogenic and room temperatures at five different plastic strain levels of 1.5%, 6.5%, 29%, 50% and 70%. The evolution of deformation substructure was examined using electronmore »« less

The effects of free surfaces on deformation twinning in HCP metals

Journal Article Leu, Brandon ; Arul Kumar, M. ; Beyerlein, I. J. - Materialia

Deformation twinning is a predominant mode of plastic deformation for hexagonal close packed metals, like Mg and Ti. The heterogenous microstructure and the local stresses associated with twinning play a key role in their mechanical response and fracture. Surface analyses, like electron microscopy, are frequently employed to spatially map microstructure and micromechanical fields in order to study twinning behavior. However, these measurements are inherently influenced by the vicinity of the free surface. In this work, an elasto-visco-plastic fast-Fourier-transform (EVP-FFT) polycrystal modeling approach is employed to investigate the effects of free surfaces on twin development before and after loading. We comparemore »« less

Effect of neighboring grain orientation on strain localization in slip bands in HCP materials

Journal Article Ahmadikia, Benham ; Mariyappan, Arul Kumar ; Beyerlein, I. J. - International Journal of Plasticity

Particularly in plastically anisotropic crystals, such as hexagonal close packed (HCP) materials, plastic deformation is realized by slip acting in the small volumes within individual crystals. Here we extend a full field fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based elasto-viscoplastic formulation to simulate the development of a single slip band on either prismatic or basal planes spanning a crystal. Calculations of the strain and stress fields induced locally within the band and parent crystal, and ahead of the band/grain boundary junction in the neighboring crystal are analyzed as the slip band intensifies under increasing applied strain. We report a substantial influence of themore »« less
